The US Army announces the destruction of Houthi missiles and downing of drones. Washington announced on Friday that it had destroyed 7 anti-ship cruise missiles that the Houthis were preparing to launch at targets in the Red Sea.

CNN quoted US officials as saying that the administration of President Joe Biden is facing difficulty in how to increase pressure on the Houthi group. American officials confirm that concern is growing within the Biden administration as Houthi attacks continue, despite the American strikes. The US does not have a measure to estimate the percentage of Houthis weapons destroyed, but it is unclear whether Washington will change its military approach towards them.
